You went to Walgreens? I hated when they put the Walgreens up on 15th and Republican but damn after they did...I bought some really good and totally nasty for me junk food there.

And I would buy those too!

Barf.

It doesn't matter what goes on the outside if the inside is still filled with malted crap.

Mmm, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, corn syrup solids, sorbitan tristearate, artificial flavors... Sounds great.

This is not "food"

If you don't want to go to Walgreens, then check out the 75 percent off Valentine's candy downstairs at the QFC on Broadway near the Library ...

Yum!

I imagine them having the texture and taste of PB Cap'n Crunch.

Not that slow! Yaz is reforming!

1) I bought some 75% v-day candy at Rite-Aid the other day and the clerk was very confused by the price. (They are individually price tagged, $1.50 in this case, and so he couldn't just scan the barcode.) He couldn't locate a calculator under the counter. I told him it should be 37.5 cents and he took my word and only charged me 37 cents.

2) Wal-Greens is annoying. Most of their sale items require the purchasing a quantity of two. (And it's not just a matter of the store putting up a "2 for $5.00" sign and charging $2.50 for one unit, as is commonly done elsewhere.) I just get a bad vibe from the place.

Bartell and Rite-Aid FTW.

Ooof. I hated looking at that, having just lunched upon potato chips and snickers.

Did anyone else get some peeps for 49 cents? I got the pink ones. I feel sorry when I eat the yellow ones ...

@2:

My thoughts exactly. I was rather hoping these would be chocolate-on-the-outside and peanut butter-on-the-inside, which would be totally good. But, alas, they appear to be just peanut butter-covered malted-milk balls, which would be - blech!

"Retardedly good," would you say, Megan?

I like malted things. These sound delicious, in a frighteningly addictive and non-nutritious kind of way.

I couldn't bring myself to try those. I don't think it'd work for me.

What I miss is whopper blizzards at Dairy Queen. Why oh why did they stop those?

Also, how do people feel about the mutant malted milk ball that seems to appear in every Whoopers package? I'm talking about the chewy, deformed one that is reminiscent of a Milk Dude. Some odd people love them. I despise them. When I'm really unlucky the mutant ball will be the last ball left in the package. And that completely ruins my week.

(And I meant "Milk Dud" -- I have no idea what a "Milk Dude" is.)

sigh...another tasty treat that'll keep me from masturbating.

No, these aren't retardedly good.

You know what is, though? Chocolate Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper.

@10 Slow music day? Are you kidding? Line Out is bumpin', duder. Yes, bumpin'. That's what the kids say when something is full of content, right?

*crunch*

So when do we get to see Peanut Butter Whoppers that look like little Death Stars and squirt suspiciously sweet goo into your mouth when you bite into them? That will truly be a Slow News Field Day for Megan Seling, Charles Mudede, andDan Savage!

You can only include me in the above equation if it involves cute animals or LOL catz.

LOL catz with lasers.

"LOL catz with lasers"?

You'll shoot your eye out, kid!

@4

In my world, it is not necessary or desirable for "candy" to be made with artificial crap. Plenty of good candy is out there. But none of it is available at Walgreens. Yet.

candy is important. i truly believe that.

I have issues with peanuts so count me out. On the other hand, the receptionist where I work had a jar full of Sweet-Tarts on her desk today. I'm surprised my teeth haven't rotted out yet...

@11 Yaz is getting back together? Right on... It brings me back. In high school, Yaz was my Asteroids high score name because of them.

I must say, I'm terribly excited about these new Peanut Butter Whoppers because of what will happen when I feed them to my dog:

Thank you, Megan, for reporting on something I actually give a damn about and not just another political candidate story. (And I'm not being sarcastic! The SLOG should have more of this sort of thing. I heartily encourage you to continue to post this stuff.)

The Strawberry Malted Whoppers are also delicious. Combine for PB&J Whoppers!
